I've done very littel assembly code on the 68000 and am going through
Leventhal, et. al.'s book. My assembler is Manx's as. I cannot seem
to get stand-alone programs to work well. If anyone has any fairly small
assembly examples that they've compiled with AS, please mail me. I
would especially like a routine that starts by calling Debug() so I
can watch from my terminal and rom-wack.
Thanks,

always constitutes an emergency.

It has some "interesting" properties - one that comes to mind is its treatment of data - the order that STORAGE is allocated in is the order that the symbols are first encountered in the source file, so that a structure that you carefully set up in the data section (that most people put at the end of the source) will be thoroughly scrambled. References by offset will FAIL. Fix is to put the DATA section before the CODE section, so that your structures are seen first. Can't think of any others off-hand. Will get CAPE when I remember to order it. (It gets complicated buying in a Goverment agency when the cheapest way is to buy direct overseas).
